No matter how you pronounce it (pou-teen or pou-tin), everyone knows what you're talking about. Poutine, Canadian's iconic dish, has been in our vocabulary since the 1950s, but the Merriam-Webster dictionary only recognized it as a word in 2014, stating that it comes from the Quebecois word, "mess."
The official definition, according to Merriam-Webster, is: "a dish of French fries covered with brown gravy and cheese curds."
They could have just called it heaven in a bowl, but this works too.
